Place a slice of cheese (like Amul or cheddar) on the omelette just before folding it. Let it melt for a few seconds for a gooey, delicious twist.
Add other finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers (capsicum), mushrooms, or grated carrots to the egg mixture for extra nutrition and crunch.
Spread a thin layer of Schezwan sauce inside the toasted pav before placing the omelette for a fiery Indo-Chinese flavor.
For a lighter version, use only egg whites instead of whole eggs. You may need 6-8 egg whites for this recipe.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The carbohydrates from the pav provide a quick source of energy, making this an ideal breakfast or pre-workout snack to fuel your day.
The inclusion of onion, tomato, and coriander leaves adds essential vitamins like Vitamin C and K, as well as antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress.
One serving of Masala Omelette Pav contains approximately 420-450 calories, depending on the size of the pav and the amount of butter used. It's a substantial and energy-dense meal.
It can be a balanced meal. The eggs provide high-quality protein, and the vegetables offer vitamins and fiber. To make it healthier, you can use whole wheat pav, reduce the amount of butter, and add more vegetables.
Masala Omelette Pav is best enjoyed fresh and hot. The omelette can become rubbery and the pav can get soggy if made too far in advance. It's recommended to prepare and serve it immediately.
It's a complete snack on its own but is traditionally served with tomato ketchup or a spicy green coriander-mint chutney. A cup of hot masala chai is the perfect beverage to accompany it.
Ensure your pan is well-greased and hot enough. Let the omelette cook until the edges are firm and the top is almost set before attempting to flip. Using a wide, thin spatula also helps. If it still breaks, don't worry! Just fold it as best you can; it will still taste delicious inside the pav.
